Urban Beekeeping – Distance Learning
June 16, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
Note: A computer and internet connection are required for this class.
Urban beekeeping is a growing and exciting pastime all over the country. Find out what all the buzz is about! Rob Holliday, a long-time beekeeper in San Antonio, and Rick Fink, President of the Alamo Area Beekeepers Association, will discuss the joys, the challenges, and the environmental and community benefits that result from these incredible insects. This online class includes practical advice on how to get started with this hobby, local resources, and support, what to do with all the delicious honey your hives will produce, and a Q&A.
Participants will be asked to take a brief survey, which allows the Botanical Garden to get credit from San Antonio Water System and for participants to get WaterSaver Rewards points if any are available for the class. A weblink and instructions will be sent 24 hours prior to the start of class.
Instructors: Rob Holliday, educator on apiculture, and Rick Fink, President of Alamo Area Beekeepers Association
